Restrictions," Journal of Development Economics, No. 43 (1994), pp.

An

The specific application is to the effects of trade restrictions, but
the broader question concerns the difficulty we have in leaving behind
the comfortable vision of a world in which all change comes from
increased quantities of existing goods.

A
look back on what we have learned about economic growth and a look
ahead on the challenges that the theory of growth should address.
- "Preferences,
Promises, and the Politics of
Entitlement." Chapter 7 from Individual and Social Responsibility,
